The legendary DolphinVR emulator lets you play a bunch of Gamecube games inside a VR headset, but developer Avaer Kazmer just discovered a way to play classics from the Nintendo 64-era in VR too.

Yes, Emukit N64 VR will let you play classics like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 inside your HTC Vive. There’s a simple explanation of how to get it running below, though Kazmer also left a much more detailed description of how he got it all running on a Medium blog.

Steps for Emukit N64 VR on Windows:
1) Get exokit https://t.co/II3fA2oZUz
2) Run “C:\exokit\exokit.cmd” https://t.co/Lw8NN5xYiQ
3) When the window pops up, drop your ROM to run it.
4) Click inside the window to enter VR.
5) Controls are on the left hand! pic.twitter.com/fBARblVPpM

It doesn’t look like the emulator will give you a full 360 degree view of the given game, rather you’ll get what you normally see on a standard display, brought to life in 3D.

Going forward, Kazmer is interested in getting other consoles like the original PlayStation and even the Dreamcast working in VR. He’d also be interested in doing something with the Game Boy, though there’s already a pretty good emulator for that on Oculus Go.

As cool as this is, don’t forget that none of these games were designed to work in VR, and thus the experience is far from optimized. As you can see in the video above, you can expect plenty of bugs and moments of discomfort. Still, it’s a pretty fun way to revisit some of our favorite games from one of Nintendo’s most beloved consoles. Now to try and get Goldeneye working.

While plenty of interesting new VR apps are being released by the week, it’s no secret that the wider world doesn’t see VR as a huge success story just yet. But one of the makers of VR’s biggest games isn’t worried right now.

In fact Todd Howard, Executive Producer and Game Director over at Bethesda Softworks, expects it to take a little longer for VR to hit the mainstream. Speaking at the Gamelab developer conference in Spain last week (as reported by VentureBeat), Howard spoke a little about his thoughts on the future of VR.

“I’m a little more VR than AR ,” Howard told a crowd. “We did Fallout and Skyrim in VR. We’re just about to enter the second generation of VR. Historically, the third generation is where it starts to become popular.”

It’s interesting to hear Howard refer to where the industry is at now as the beginning of the second generation of VR. Many VR enthusiasts would argue that the arrival of Bethesda’s high-quality ports of Skyrim and Fallout 4 in VR hailed the arrival of the second generation, but perhaps these are first-generation titles in Howard’s mind. Perhaps the real question, though, is how long will it take to get to that third generation Howard predicts will help the tech take off, and what game and/or hardware will signal its arrival?

Bethesda has another VR game on the way in the form of The Elder Scrolls: Blades, though it’s set to hit mobile platforms first. The company’s wider publishing efforts are also bringing out Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot and a VR update for Prey in the coming months, so there’s plenty more to look forward to from the studio.

HTC’s leadership is laying off around one fifth of its workforce in an attempt to put the company on a path to sustainability.

According to a tweet from Bloomberg journalist Samson Ellis, HTC is cutting 1,500 people from its Taiwan workforce. That’s roughly 22 percent of employees.

The move is the latest attempt by HTC’s leaders to find a sustainable business in the shadow of giants like Google and Samsung. Late last year the company received a $1.1 billion injection from Google in exchange for key teams involved in the creation of the Pixel smartphone. Meanwhile, HTC’s engineering and marketing teams soldier on with launches like the Vive Focus standalone VR headset and Vive Pro. Though still operating globally, HTC appears to be focusing on trying to dominate the Chinese market with high-end hardware and the Viveport software store. Later this year the company is expected to launch an official wireless adapter for the Vive.

Update: HTC confirmed to UploadVR that today’s layoffs have no impact on the HTC Vive side of the business.

PSVR has a lot of great games, many of which were made by Sony itself. But, to Sony, making its own games to go alongside its new platform isn’t just a good idea; it’s a necessary part of helping the platform grow.

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Shawn Layden said as much during an on-stage session at Gameslab this week, as reported by VentureBeat. Speaking of the games PlayStation develops in-house, Layden explained that he looks for three things when greenlighting projects: First, Best and Must. First refers to inventing new genres, Best is about leading the way forward, but Must has more to do with technologies like PSVR.

“There are some games we must do, even if initially the profitability might be hard to make,” Layden said. “For example, an easy one for that is games. When you’re trying to grow the PSVR installed base, how many units are in homes, it’s difficult for some third parties to look at that addressable market and get the business to work for them. But we need games to move the platform. It’s a chicken-and-egg thing. So, at Worldwide Studios, we took on a number of PSVR projects in order to support the launch of that platform and getting it off the ground.”

What Layden’s talking about isn’t too dissimilar to the launch of any other PlayStation console, though it’s doubly true of VR, which is still struggling to attract major developers over two years into its consumer lifecycle. You can see the same process happening with Oculus with its Studios games like Lone Echo.

“Must is sometimes driven by technology,” Layden later said. “We decide to do VR. We have PSVR technology. We’ve been working on that for six years. We’re in a place where the technology is ready to come to market, and we need some games that can help explain why VR is important and what VR can do.”

Sony is still making first-party VR titles to that effect. PlayStation VR Worlds developer Sony London is now working on London-set shooter, Blood and Truth, while Sony Japan recently revealed Astro Bot: Robo Rescue. There’s also a new UK-based developer studio working exclusively on PSVR content.

That said, we do hope that Sony one day manages to move its work in VR gaming from ‘Must’ to ‘Best’.

Harmonix’s Rock Band VR was a pretty good stab at bringing the rhythm genre into VR, though it was let down by only supporting the series’ guitar peripheral. Riff VR from IMEX Media wants to go one step further, though.

Fresh off of a new update on Steam Early Access, Riff VR lets you strum, drum and sing in VR with no extra peripherals needed. Based on the trailer below, the game looks pretty similar to the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games, but takes full advantage of position-tracked controllers for realistic instrument controls and even VR avatars.

Riff comes with 20 songs ready to play including tracks from artists like Fall Out Boy and KISS (full tracklist is below). You can of course expect more songs to be added over time.

On top of this, there’s also an AR version of the game now available on iOS for $3.99. There’s no gameplay to this spin-off, but you can summon a virtual band to play pretty much anywhere you want them to.

The VR version, meanwhile, is currently available at 30% off of its usual price of $19.99. The game supports both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

One of VR’s best games, Moss, came to HTC Vive last month. If you haven’t picked it up yet then you might want to check out this tempting offer.

As part of its Viveport Summer sale, HTC is offering a free copy of Moss for anyone that signs up to its Viveport Subscription service with a three, six or 12-month plan ($19.99, $39.99 and $79.99 respectively). Polyarc’s adorable third-person adventure is usually priced at $29.99, so if you get the three-month plan you essentially get the game for $10 off with three months of Viveport Subscription bolted on for free.

The subscription provides you access to a library of over 200 VR titles. You can download a set amount every month to play for the next 30 or so days and then, the following month, either trade them in for another set or keep playing what you’ve already downloaded.

Even without the subscription, though, Moss is a steal at $19.99. “From the first moment we played the game at E3 almost a year ago until we saw the closing credits roll, Quill’s adventure has captivated our hearts and minds,” we said in our 9/10 review. “Moss strikes that perfect balance between tense, action-packed moments of combat with slow, methodical puzzles that require you to rethink the way you interact with video games through the power of VR. Polyarc has crafted one of VR’s most essential games to date.”
